Seedling bottoms starting to thin

[gardengeordie]

My brassicas are starting to thin at the bottom of the seedling, any ideas what it may be? Thanks very much

a photo would help - in the meantime try having a look at some images of "damping-off" to see if it looks anything like what you have.

yes difficult to give advice without actually seeing what's going on.

I tried uploading a photo but it keeps failing it does look like that mind, but it only seems to be on my brassicas carrots and leeks seem fine

OK if you think its "damping-off", I'd try lifting any seedlings that still look right and move them individually to small containers with fresh compost. This disease spreads in the growing medium, so if a few plants go down the lot in the same tray can get it. Once they grow larger they gain immunity, so if you can nurse some through for a week or so, they will then be back to normal.

If the photo keeps failing. You need to reduce the size of your image.
Don't ask me how.
